SUDDEN DEATH.
Frank g. Brickeil striken Down with
Heart Disease.


Heart Disease.
The community was rudely shocked
yesterday morning by the report Of
the sudden death at O'Clock q. nSss
of Frank G. Brickell, son of a.
j. Brickell, Esq, very
worthy and popular young man Of this
city. So sudden and unexpected was
the summons OF the grim reaper that
at first people told Of the sad event
would not believe it and did not until
it was confirmed. 1t was difficult To
realize that the apparently bright
healthy appearing young man had
been taken, especially as he was ming.
ling among his friends on Sunday in
cheerful spirits and apparently as well
as usual. 1t seems that Mr.. Bricke
has been afflicted with heart disease
for a number of years. He was treated
for the trouble in Salt Lake several
years ago, and has been under DR..
Morgan's care for some time. The
doctor prescribed for him q few DAYS
ago, when he was effected by one Of
his attacks. His physician advised
rest and warned the young man FROM
exposure to the sun. Mr.. BrickN,
was thoughtless and not realizing hE;
danger was on the ball grounds in the J.
hot sun all Sunday afternoon, and
taking n great interest in the success
of the local team was naturally ex
cited. He felt the evil effects of this |
exposure on Monday, and MONDAY /
night was taken violently ill. Dr..
Morgan was summoned at O'Clock J.
Monday evening and remained with 1
him until IL 80 o'clock yesterday
morning. At that time DR.. Morgan 1
considered the patient in no danger. 4
Mr.. f. j. Brickell desired to leave
the city Tuesday morning and
the doctor informed him that his
sons symptoms were not serious. II
seems that some time after the doctor I
left the house the deceased was taken
suddenly worse. The physician was
sent for, and arrived at the house about
4 o'clock u. m. He at once saw that
the disease had taken an alarming turn
and that there was little hopes for the
sufferer. DIR. Morgan did all in ,Ms@
power to revive and save the life ofkS.l
patient, but he was beyond the re&pY
of human aid, and at about b O'Clock
the young man breathed his last, sur.
rounded by his heartbroken wife and
sorrowing relations.
Frank G. Brckell was born in iii.
noistown, Cal, in 1859, thus being
only 2S years of age at the time OF his
death. He grew up and was educated
in California. Some seven or eight
years ago he went to Salt
Lake City, Utah, in the h
employ of his father, and while 4
there on October 10, 1871, he was mar.
ried to Miss Nellie Reamer. Inv
August, 1884, Mrs. and Mrs. Brickell
moved to this city, where they have re-
sided ever since. He leaves a wife
and two young children, and many
relations, friends and acquaintance TO /
mourn his sad and untimely death.
Frank Brickell was gentleman Of
generous impulses, q true friend o
genial companion. Everybody who
knew him liked him. His kindness
at his home and extended /
out to all those who came in contact
with him. He possessed ono of the
happy dispositions that a
tracted the respect and friendship ol
all whom he met. Besides his social
qualifications he was most excellent
business man, n thorough accountan.
and capable of filling any position Of
character. Deeply, sin
cerely, keenly is his loss felt and de-
plored, and long will his memory live
green in the hearts Of all who knew
him. Words OF coincidence will NOT
assuage grief, but the stricken wife,
the orphaned children, the sorrowil 6
relations have the heartfelt sympathy
Of the whole community.
